An Annotated Bibliography of Recent Continuing Education Literature.

Overview & Synopsis

This survey of the literature relevant to the promotion of continuing education for library, media, and information personnel was gathered by the Continuing Library Education Network and Exchange (CLENE), whose purposes and accomplishments also are reviewed in the document. The bibliography itself contains 396 references, divided into 6 general topic areas: (1) network models, institutional roles, and issues in continuing education; (2) needs assessment; (3) resources; (4) guidelines for program planners; (5) descriptions of continuing education programs; and (6) adult education. Material from fields outside of librarianship is included under most topics. An introductory essay gives an overview of the contents of the entire body of literature and an appendix, of varying print quality, provides abstracts of all items cited in the bibliography. (KB)
